Abstract

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin affecting patients of all ages, both males and females. Currently, the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) method is the gold standard in assessing the severity of psoriasis. Phototherapy narrowband ultraviolet B (NBUVB) is one of the modalities of psoriasis therapy which is relatively safe and effective for repairing psoriasis lesions. Patient satisfaction with phototherapy, which can be assessed using a questionnaire, serves to determine the patient's motivation in carrying out routine therapy.Objective: This study was designed to determine the correlation between the level of NBUVB phototherapy satisfaction with PASI improvement.Method: The study subjects were 22 plaque-type psoriasis vulgaris patients who underwent NBUVB phototherapy from May 2018 to October 2018 in the dermatovenereology outpatient clinic of Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta. Subjects filled in the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM) included questions about satisfaction with NBUVB phototherapy, and PASI scores were measured before and after NBUVB phototherapy.Results: The data were analyzed with the Pearson correlation test with a significance value of p <0.05. There are significant differences between PASI before and after giving 24 times phototherapy with a value of p<0.05.Conclusion: There was a significant correlation between the degree of PASI improvement and the global patient satisfaction with NBUVB phototherapy.

Abstract

Background: Laboratory investigation for genital herpes (GH) includes serologic tests and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with different sensitivity and specificity; occasionally, the results are not conclusive. Clinical symptoms are often atypical. We report a case of GH in HIV-infected patients with a non-reactive serologic test but positive PCR.Case Description: A 29-years old HIV-positive man presented with multiple painful shallow ulcers with pus on his penis in the last five days. PCR examination showed a positive result, whereas anti-HSV 1 IgM, anti-HSV 2 IgM, anti-HSV 2 IgG, VDRL, and TPHA were negative. The anti-HSV- 1 IgG result was reactive with a CD4 value of 122 cells/μL. The patient was given Acyclovir 3x400 mg for ten days and Co-amoxiclav 3x625 mg for seven days. Significant improvement was obtained, and the pain subsided.Conclusion: Clinical features of GH in infected HIV patients are often atypical and resemble other genital ulcers, thus requiring additional investigations. The serologic test may sometimes present a false negative, whereas PCR is much more sensitive and specific, nearing 100%. In patients with HIV infection, GH diagnosis at an early stage can shorten the course of the disease and prevent complications.

Abstract

Introduction: Syphilis is an infection caused by Treponema pallidum of the spirochaete family.Case: A 19-year-old Balinese came with a complaint of red spots on the palms of the hands and feet one month ago. The patient has a hearing disability and is currently enrolled in a special-needs school in Denpasar. VDRL examination with reactive results with titer 1:256 and TPHA reactive with TPHA titer 1:5120. The patient received benzathine penicillin G 2.4 million units intramuscularly. Significant improvement was obtained, and the serological test was decreased.Discussion: Syphilis transmits through sexual contact, vertically from pregnant women to their fetuses, through needle sharing. People with hearing disabilities and adolescents are considered vulnerable as objects of harassment and sexual violence.Conclusion: People with disabilities and adolescents are vulnerable to sexually transmitted diseases. Information on reproductive health and sexually transmitted diseases need to be more readily available for people with disabilities. Secondary syphilis therapy with a single dose of benzathine penicillin is effective from clinical or serological observations.

Abstract

Background: Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is a virus of human neurotropic that remains within ganglionic neurons in a latent state after the primary infection throughout the entire neuroaxis.Case: A male patient, 32 years old Javanese, consulted from the pulmonary division with complaints of vesicular eruption in the facial area on September 27, 2020. The patient was diagnosed with ophthalmic herpes zoster and a mild COVID-19 infection since 2 days ago and was hospitalized. Management in patients was acyclovir, methylprednisolone, with analgesics and vitamins. COVID-19 as co-infection and other viruses has been known, but infrequently affect the respiratory tract.Conclusion: Herpes zoster patient should ruled out the COVID-19 and maximize the precaution for personal safety equipment until the SARS-CoV-2 is excluded.

Abstract

Introduction: Syphilis frequently presents in tandem with conditions such as HIV, and the prevalence is increasing, particularly in men who have sex with men (MSM). The most common and recognizable manifestations are usually the secondary stage, characterized with or without constitutional symptoms. Choosing the first line or alternative therapy was based on patient condition and the availability of the medicine.Case report: It was reported a 22-year-old man with secondary syphilis and HIV infection. The diagnosis was established based on erythema and hyperpigmented maculopapular lesions with the scale on the forearms, palms, back, feet, and soles without pruritic sensation, a history of the same-sex sexual partners and the titer of VDRL 1:64, TPHA 1:2560. The patient also has a low CD4 level, and HIV-1 RNA was detected on a blood test. Patients received azithromycin 2 grams orally and continued by doxycycline twice a day for 30 days and also treated for the HIV Infection.Conclusion: Skin disorders have improved rapidly and significantly, accompanied by decreased VDRL titer.
